Meanwhile, Yugi and Joey continue their search for Marik, suspecting him to be behind the recent string of mysterious incidents and duels. They eventually come across a familiar face - Mai Valentine, who has been brainwashed and is working under Marik's control. Despite her allegiance to Marik, Mai ultimately helps Yugi and Joey locate their enemy's hideout.

Back to the duel, Kaiba is determined to prove himself as the true champion and win against Ishizu, despite her seemingly unbeatable abilities.
